Tasting Notes
Deep mahogany in colour, indicative of its age and concentration. Rich and intense aromas of raisins, figs and dates, combined with notes of toffee, molasses, coffee, and dark chocolate. The palate is sweet and luscious, with flavours mirroring the nose. The ageing process has added nuances of spices , tobacco and a hint of nuttiness. The finish is long, smooth, and velvety, with a lingering sweetness and complex aftertaste.
Serving & Food Pairing:
Serve your PX wine slightly chilled between 12-14º C. A dessert in itself it is the perfect way to finish a meal but also an ideal pairing with dark chocolate and light blue cheeses.

"My favorite of all the old sweet PXs I tasted this time was the perfumed and showy 1964 Don PX Convento Selección, which still has the wooden label, but it has also been modernized and made easier to read. It is denser than any of the other wines and has a brighter edge, amber, because the center is opaque and black. It has an incredible perfume; it's floral and spicy with fresher aromas than I remember in the other sweet PXs. It fills your mouth, goes down your throat like liquid gold and explodes in the eternal finish. It's an amazing PX with 15.5% alcohol, lower that most, and with 377 grams of sugar, also lower than most. Elegant and intense, simply delicious. There are 4,630 bottles of this wine, all bottled in February 2022." Luis Gutierrez Sept 2022. Drink 2020-2040
